CL All-Stars Leaks in Loss to Seguin, 18-15

The Canyon Lake All-Stars could not hold Seguin down long enough to wrestle a win in the double elimination contest, Friday in New Braunfels Junior Field. The loss will pit the Hawks against the Seguin and New Braunfels losing team next Wednesday, July 6th.

Canyon Lake was the home team and had the advantage of batting last, but battling an eight run deficit proved to big of a hurdle to overcome in the last inning.

The error bug was the culprit in the earlier innings as the fielding allowed Seguin to score multiple runs without the benefit of hits. Unfortunately for the Hawks, the runs count the same no matter how the opposition crosses the plate.

The Canyon Lake Gold squad advanced through the winners bracket and beat the Marion Bulldogs on a last minute score. Playing at the Canyon Lake field on Tuesday June 28th.

Both Marion and CL Gold teams were not challenged until they played in the Championship game.

Profile on Offensive Lineman: Ezra Barrett

The Profiled Offensive Lineman so far:

Wes Dicks      Junior    Right Guard   6’4”   270lbs
Logan Felch    Junior    Center        6’2”   190lbs

Offensive Lineman: Ezra Barrett

The ReSporter continues it’s trek through the vein of the football team. The offensive line is the most important part of the offense. If the line breaks down, then all of the other facets of the offense has a much steeper climb to put their hurt on the opponents defense.

We have heard two words repeated throughout the sessions: The line is excited and the brotherhood aspect or togetherness that the line has bonded.

Left Tackle: Jaazaniah McNair

jaazmcnairLast year was the tale of two seasons for Jaaz McNair. He started the season during the scrimmages and then came down with mono after the Dripping Springs scrimmage and was not back on the field until the middle of the season.

“I did not get back until the Austin Travis game and played my first game against Luling,” McNair coughed.

The offensive line was inconsistent during the first of the year and so it might not be a coincidence that the Luling game is when the Hawks put their best offensive game together running and passing up to that point of the season. The Hawks rushed for 233 yards and passed for 193. Read the rest here »

Center—Logan ‘Excited’ Felch

Junior Center Logan Phelps

Junior Center Logan Felch

The ReSporter continues the in depth ‘getting to know’ your offensive lineman. We have the thoughts of Junior, 6’2” 190 lbs center, Logan Felch.

Felch was a lot like Wes Dicks in that he played for the Junior Varsity starting the season last year and was moved up during the middle of the season finishing with the Varsity.

It gives you the idea the Coaches knew they were planning for this year by giving these young man experience so the two deep plan could be put into full force for this upcoming season.

Poll Question

Offensive Lineman: Wes Dicks is Excited

Junior Right Guard Wes Dicks

Junior Right Guard Wes Dicks

The ReSporter wants to do enough articles on the offensive line that the fans can know these players like they might know the Quarterback or any of the other skilled positions.

The players and Coaches know that games are won in the trenches yet these are the players that are not at the head of the line when reporters are clamoring for interviews after hard fought games.

A hefty dose of one on one interviews with the offensive line throughout the rest of the Summer will be the only positions on the field that does not have a stat line that can be reported on.
